  I use 576 for all net stuff.

  Hehe. It shouldn't be because people should know (or be told) that setting
the right MTU means a faster net connect (well, faster-ish :)

I use 576.

Rules of thumb

Small MTU => packets sent more often
          => lower latency

Large MTU => fewer packet headers sent
          => higher throughput

So...

Small MTU: best for games
Large MTU: best for leeching W4ReZ

576 for modem and 1500 for ISDN recommended by many Internet Providers.

Most people are pretty decent. It's just sometimes
